And on macosx ? It seems here on 10.5.5 that only dynlink.cma and
dynlink.cmi for bytecode get installed. So I guess there's no support.
What about the future ?
Native dynlink used to work on Mac OS X < 10.5 (x86 only). The new
linker in 10.5 does not support linking shared libraries with non-PIC
code. It is still possible to use the old linker, called ld_classic, but
some libraries (like X11) does not work, so this has been disabled in
the configure script.
The clean solution to make natdynlink work on recent Mac OS X systems
(beside convincing Apple to support the old behavior of their linker in
their new implementation) is to change OCaml's x86 backend so that it
produces only PIC code (this has been done for the AMD64 port). I don't
think there is currently any plan to work on that.
